Kent’s Best Pubs for a Sociable Sunday Walk

There’s something satisfying about finishing a good walk with a great pub. Whether it’s a Sunday roast, a log fire, or just a local ale, pub walks make the perfect sociable outing. We recently marked the half way mark of The Greensand Way with a Sunday Roast and it was such a treat.

Here are a few favourite pairings:

Hucking Estate + The Hook & Hatchet Inn

Woodland, wildlife, and a tucked-away country pub with hearty portions. This is a circular walk with sweeping views and ancient trees—ideal for autumn or early spring.

Shoreham Circular + The Samuel Palmer

Shoreham is a charming village with links to the famous artist. Walk the Darent Valley before stopping at the cosy pub, where you’ll find good food and thoughtful wine lists.

Egerton Hike + The Barrow House

This pub dates to the 16th century and serves up modern dishes in a historic setting. Combine it with big-sky views across the Kentish Weald and you’ve got a dreamy Sunday out.

Fordwich to Canterbury + The Fordwich Arms

A gentle riverside walk ending at one of Kent’s best pubs—this one has a Michelin star, so book ahead. Expect seasonal ingredients, impeccable service, and a truly special experience. The nearby walk allows you to see elephants too!
